    You know what they say, what’s good for your survival isn’t good for your health.

      It’s unfortunate, but understandable. Fear of death is a powerful motivator. That’s why tyrants resort to it so frequently.

      More and more news makes it sound like Russian conscripts get better treatment in Ukraine’s POW camps than they do in the Russian military. Hopefully, more and more of them can find ways to lay down arms and exit the conflict to safety.
